i just upgraded from fvwm95 (2.0.43d) to the current release of 2.4.15. i've successfully updated all my configs, and everything seems to be running nicely.

redhat 8.0 uses the package consolehelper/usermode to route specific authentication requests through pam. in 2.0.43 (calling the needed program with a simple "exec" statement - like 'exec kppp'), the gnome popup would appear, ask for the root password, accept/deny, and run the program as appropriate. i'm now finding that when i use the new format ('Exec exec kppp'), i get a nifty popup saying "Invalid Call to Subprocess".

i'm sure this is probably a simple config issue, and although i know i could modify each entry in the 'menus' config file, i'm hoping there is a global method to solve this.

btw, i'm running an out-of-the-box version of redhat 8.0. i downloaded the source for 2.4.15, compiled it with defaults, and installed. i modified/added entries for gdm to call fvwm directly, so i'm not using any gnome session-management. ideally, i'd like to keep them as separate as possible.

any ideas?

thanks,
Tony
